Proposal

Dismantling, repair and reconstruction of existing cupola: Following an inspection of the existing roof top cupola over the former stables block, defects to the cupola timber structure have been identified. Partial dismantling and repair are necessary to return the cupola back to a good state of repair. South elevation entrance front arcade: the lower sections of the timber shafts to the four columns to the arcade are deteriorating and decaying due to wood rot caused by the timber remaining constantly damp as the shafts are in direct contact with the external ground. The external paving level around the columns has been raised during a number of previous external works programmes which suggests the bottom of the timber shafts are below ground level. The defective lower sections of the timber shafts are to be removed and replaced with new timber shaft sections, to match existing on a like for like basis but with new natural stone sections at and below ground level The whole of the timber arcade (columns and beam) is to be redecorated/repainted. The existing external paving around the base of the columns is to be lowered. Data via plota.co.uk
